Video gaming investigation continues

North Carolina

N.C. Alcohol Law Enforcement (ALE) special agents continue to investigate two businesses in Randolph County after confiscating about 100 illegal video gaming machines on Wednesday.

The businesses are accused of operating slot machines and illegal server-based gaming machines illegally by allegedly paying out cash winnings to patrons who were placing bets on the machines and winning money. “ALE has received numerous complaints on these types of illegal gambling and video gaming operations in Randolph County,” said ALE Special Agent in Charge Mike Yates. “The raids should serve as a wake-up call to business owners who allow illegal video gaming on their property.”
